Draft Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus plantarum CRL681, Isolated from Argentinean Artisanal Fermented Sausages.

Lactobacillus plantarum CRL681 was isolated from Argentinean artisanal fermented sausages. Here, the draft genome sequence of the CRL681 strain is described. The reads were assembled into contigs with a total estimated size of 3,370,224 bp. A total of 3,300 open reading frames (ORFs) were predicted, including 3,126 protein-coding sequences. The draft genome sequence of L. plantarum CRL681 will be useful for understanding the organism's metabolic activities and for biotechnological applications.
